High Elf Rangers
Your army may include ut to 10 Rangers, 2 for each 1000 point,
but no more than 10
History:In his long war agaist evil, prince Sirion began to get a
problem with the dwarves(who they also fight agains once more)
war machines. It was long since elf and dwarf had fight against
each other, and the elves wasn`t ready for the gunpowder
machines. Armies with more and more War Machines crushed Bolt
Trowers and slayed whole regiments. Then, he found out that he
could make some superhuman rangers if he let the best Shadow
Warriors, Seaguards and other troops to train and swap
experienses together, and he gave them the best equipment ever
made on Ulthuan. Exactly what happened in the first ranger battle
on Ulthuan(and the dvarwes last) nobody knows, but the dwarves
fleed when the ranger come, but they shoot them down defore they
had a chance to flee.This makes the background for these troops,
and after this, Sirion used som of them to slay down dark elf
assasins and witch elves, and some other rangers fired down
r.crossbowmenns and r.Bolt trower crew. Since that day High Elves
used the high elf rangers to slay charachters and crush war
machines and other artillery, but Sirion lead most of this ranger
also today

Special rules:
Rangers may skirmish
Rangers who are on foot may deflect a shoot with his sword, this
rule allow a ranger to choose one arrow who hit, must miss.This
rule may be used once pr.round. If he is mounted, this rule does
not apply.
Rangers are experts in hiding themself and like othe skirmishers,
they move fast thru difficult terrain like wood or even cliffs,so
they don`t get any minus on M moving thru difficult terrain,BUT,
they dont get any minus on M moving thru difficult terrain, and
they can only bee senn if they are less than 10" from enemy
if they not shoots, then they are seen as normal troops(please
dont cheat with these rules, HE player). Note that this rule make
them swimmers, and they can cross even seas and riverstreams
without losing more than 2" movement pr round(then they got
"only" 8" if they not are in formation), and if
they are in places with difficult terrain, they nay allway charge
at an enemy with the initiative, cause you hide you.If they are
mounted they can`t move thru the rivers, and they are now seend
10" away, but if they are in wood or other difficult
terrain, they may ambush the enemy in the same manner as rangers
on foot
Rangers to horse is learned up of the ellyrian reavers, and like
them they suffer no BS penalty if they have moved. Note that this
rule only apply if Rangers are at horse, if they fight on foot,
they dont have this little extra rule
Rangers are citisen levy troops in formation
